Experimental investigation and dimensionless analysis of forming of rectangular plates subjected to hydrodynamic loading

This paper describes an experimental setup consisting of a drop hammer and a shock tube filled with a liquid, where a shock wave is formed, and results of experiments performed with fully clamped rectangular plates subjected to an impact load of the water shock wave. The results are presented in terms of the central deflection of the plates as a function of the kinetic energy of the drop hammer. The singular value decomposition method is used in conjunction with dimensionless numbers to obtain analytical dependences of the central deflection of the plates on the impact load parameters.

内部压力作用下矩形板中源于椭圆孔的分支裂纹应力强度因子的一种数值分析

应用一种边界元方法来研究内部压力作用下矩形板中源于椭圆孔的分支裂纹。该边界元方法由Crouch与Starfied建立的常位移不连续单元和笔者最近提出的裂尖位移不连续单元构成。在该边界元方法的实施过程中,左、右裂尖位移不连续单元分别置于裂纹的左、右裂尖处,而常位移不连续单元则分布于除了裂尖位移不连续单元占据的位置之外的整个裂纹面及其它边界。本数值结果进一步证实这种数值方法对计算有限大板中复杂裂纹的应力强度因子的有效性,同时该数值结果可以揭示裂纹体几何对应力强度因子的影响。     

Finite-element analysis of rectangular plates with rectangular inserts

The present investigation deals with the stress distribution in the vicinity of rectangular inserts in finite rectangular plates. This problem is more complex due to the singularities at the corners of the inserts. In this paper, the finite-element technique is used to determine the deformations and, subsequently, the stresses. The paper treats the problem in a generalized form in the sense that the size and orientation of the insert are taken as variables. The finite rectangular plate is subjected to a uniform axial tensile load. The material of the plate and that of the insert are considered to be different. Element selections are made which are optimal with regard to accuracy and computational effort. The local element stresses which generate considerable discontinuity at the element nodes are plotted. Averaging process for the local stress calculations is discussed and these are compared with the results available¹ which are obtained by experimental techniques.     

Exact bending solutions of orthotropic rectangular cantilever thin plates subjected to arbitrary loads

Exact bending solutions of orthotropic rectangular cantilever thin plates subjected to arbitrary loads are derived by using a novel double finite integral transform method. Since only the basic elasticity equations for orthotropic thin plates are used, the method presented in this paper eliminates the need to predetermine the deformation function and is hence completely rational thus more accurate than conventional semi-inverse methods, which presents a breakthrough in solving plate bending problems as they have long been bottlenecks in the history of elasticity. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the approach as compared with those previously reported in the literature

Dynamic response of composite sandwich plates subjected to time-dependent pressure pulses

The dynamic response of orthotropic sandwich composite plates impacted by time-dependent external blast pulses is studied by use of numerical techniques. The theory is based on classical sandwich plate theory including the large deformation effects, such as geometric non-linearities, in-plane stiffness and inertias, and shear deformation. The equations of motion for the plate are derived by the use of the virtual work principle. Approximate solutions are assumed for the space domain and substituted into the equations of motion. Then the Galerkin Method is used to obtain the non-linear differential equations in the time domain. The finite difference method is applied to solve the system of coupled non-linear equations. The results of theoretical analyses are obtained and compared with ANSYS results. Effects of the face sheet number, as well as those related to the ply-thickness, core thickness, geometrical non-linearities, and of the aspect ratio are investigated. Detailed analyses of the influence of different type of pressure pulses on dynamic response are carried out.

A hollow sphere of an elastic binding material of slight stiffness, bonded randomly by “fiber” segments of a stiffer material, is considered. Polymer material, for example, can be the binder. Such a bonding permits obtaining a material with improved properties, where the material on the whole is quasi-isotropic [1]. The stress distribution in a hollow sphere is obtained.

On the analysis of thick rectangular plates

Summary Thick rectangular plates are investigated using the method of initial functions proposed by Vlasov. The governing equations are derived from the three-dimensional elasticity equations using a MacLaurin series approach. As the governing equations can be obtained in the form of series, approximate theories of any desired order can be constructed easily by proper truncation. An exact solution is obtained for an allround simply supported thick plate using a Navier type solution. A Levy type solution for higher order theories is illustrated for the case of a thick plate with two opposite edges simply supported and other two edges clamped. Numerical results obtained are compared with those of classical, Reissner and Srinivas et al. solutions.

Übersicht Mit Hilfe der Methode der Initial-Funktionen von Vlasov werden rechteckige Platten untersucht. Die zugehörigen Gleichungen werden aus den Gleichungen für das dreidimensionale Problem durch eine Entwicklung in MacLaurin-Reihen gewonnen. Durch Abbrechen dieser Reihen können Näherungen beliebiger Ordnung erhalten werden. Für den Fall einer allseitig einfach gelagerten dicken Platte wird eine exakte Lösung erhalten, bei der eine Lösung vom Navier-Typ verwendet wird. Eine Lösung vom Levy-Typ höherer Ordnung wird am Beispiel einer dicken Platte abgeleitet, von der zwei gegenüberliegende Ecken einfach gelagert, die anderen fest eingespannt sind. Die numerischen Ergebnisse werden mit den klassischen, von Reissner, Srinivas u. a. erhaltenen Resultaten verglichen.

     

Creep of thick-walled cylinders subjected to internal pressure and axial load

A creep theory is presented to predict deformations at any specified time for a thick-walled cylinder subjected to internal pressure and axial load. The theory is based on the usual assumptions that the deformations are infinitestimal, that the material is incompressible and that the total strain theory is valid. The stress-strain-time relation for the material is assumed to be represented by an isochronous stress-strain diagram which is approximated by an arc hyperbolic sine function. The experimental part of the investigation included tests of thick-walled cylinders made of high-density poly-ethylene whose ratio of outside to inside radii were either 1.5 or 2.0. The test cylinders were either tested as closed-ented cylinders with internal pressure or subjected to a combination of internal pressure and axial load. Also, the application of the theory for varying load conditions was studied. Good agreement was found between theory and experiment.     

Nonlinear bending behavior of 3D braided rectangular plates subjected to transverse loads in thermal environments

Nonlinear bending behavior of 3D braided rectangular plates subjected to transverse loads is investigated. A new micro-macro-mechanical model of unit cells is suggested. In this model, a 3D braided composite may be considered as a cell system and the geometry of each cell is deeply dependent on its position in the cross-section of the plate. The material properties of the epoxy are expressed as a linear function of temperature. Based on Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation plate theory and general von Kármán-type equations, analytical solutions for nonlinear bending behavior of simply supported 3D braided rectangular plates are obtained using mixed Galerkin-perturbation method. The numerical examples concern effects of geometric parameters, of fiber volume fraction, braiding angle and load boundary condition.     

Large dynamic plastic deflection of a simply supported beam subjected to rectangular pressure pulse

Summary This paper concerns the dynamic behaviour of rigid, perfectly plastic simply supported beams with finite deflections by considering both bending moments and axial forces. In the case of rectangular pressure pulse loading, approximate rigid-plastic theoretical solutions are obtained for both medium load and high load; to this end a parabolic law between bending moment and axial force as yield condition is approximated by a circumscribing or an inscribing rectangle. The concept of Saturation Impulse is put forward for the dynamic response of rigid, perfectly plastic structures with finite deflections subjected to rectangular pressure pulse. The value of dimensionless saturation impulse for both simply supported and fully clamped beams are given.

Große dynamische, plastische Auslenkung eines einfach gestützten Balkens unter einem rechteckigen Druckimpuls

Übersicht Dieser Artikel behandelt das dynamische Verhalten von starren, ideal-plastischen, einfach gestützten Balken mit endlichen Auslenkungen. Dabei werden sowohl Biegemomente als auch Längskräfte berücksichtigt. Für den Fall einer Last in Form eines rechteckigen Druckimpulses erhält man sowohl für mittlere als auch für hohe Last theoretische Näherungs-lösungen. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine parabolische Fließbedingung zwischen Biegemoment und Axialkraft über ein äußeres und inneres Rechteck angenähert. Der Begriff des Sättigungsimpulses wird im Zusammenhang mit der dynamischen Antwort von starren, ideal-plastischen Strukturen mit endlichen Auslenkungen auf einen rechteckigen Druckimpuls vorgestellt. Der Wert des dimensionslosen Sättigungsimpulses wird für einfach gestützte und für vollständig eingespannte Balken gegeben.

     

Postbuckling of rectangular plates under uniaxial compression combined with lateral pressure

Based on the nonlinear large deflection equations of von Kármán plates, the lateral pressure is first converted into an initial deflection by Galerkin method, the postbuckling behavior of simply supported rectangular plates under uniaxial compression combined with lateral pressure is then studied applying perturbation method by taking deflection as perturbation parameter. Two types of in-plane boundary conditions and the effects of initial geometric imperfection are also considered. It is found that the theoretical results are in good accordance with experiments.     

Large deflections of prestressed simply supported rectangular plates under uniform pressure

The von Kármán large deflection equations for laterally loaded rectangular plates are extended to include uniform prestresses parallel to the edges and are solved for uniform load and for edges which are simply supported against movement normal to the plane of the plate and which are either held or free to move as a rigid body in the plane of the plate. Calculated values of center deflection and maximum stress parameters are given as functions of the load parameter for plates of various aspect ratios.
